The arrival of the birds
by Neat

Comment:
This image feels very alive. I love how the birds' motions are complemented by the kids. Processing is just right, wonderful tones and the overlay is very seamlessly blended. The only thing I don't like is the distracting stark white border. I understand you were probably simulating a polaroid but I think it would have been much better if it was off-white with a very slight yellow or brown tint. 9

I thought this was really beautiful. What KarenNfld doesn't like about this image is what makes this stand out IMO. The processing is spot-on, retro without looking overdone. The vulnerable expression is a wonderful contrast to her "tough" exterior. Gave you an 8 but meant to bump it to 9.

Wonderful mix of textures and patterns. It appears like you took a picture of him in a random genuine moment. That smile is contagious. =)

This is my top pick for the challenge. 9

It's nice how everything appears to be compartmentalized but still work as a whole. This is definitely much more interesting than the outtakes.
